Usage Examples

Etymology

The noun **enclin** comes from the French adjective *enclin*, which entered the language in the 12th century as *enclinne*. It is ultimately derived from Latin *inclīnus* “inclined, sloping”, a compound of *in-* “in” + *clīnus* (from the verb *clīnō* “to lean”). The term has remained essentially unchanged in spelling and sense since its Old French introduction.
